Sikh Children Learning Kirtan at Gurmat Camp

It’s good to see children being actively taught instead of parked in front of some electronic device. We wonder why they grow up warped and stupid.

Great shot. Music is so important for children and all ages for that matter.

That is a nice capture!

Never heard of this cool musical instrument before. Thanks!

what a cute little feller.

So lovely picture !!!
Beautiful colorful post ….

Teach your children well. If not, others will do it for you, maybe not to your liking.

Interesting!

it’s good to involve children in music and expose them to different sounds and rhythms at every opportunity. Happy WW!

That looked like lots of fun.

Lucky child! One student with three teachers, dressed like butterflies, with music as the subject. All learning should be this much fun!

Music is so important. Nice capture.

~wonderful moment you captured…a child learning music young…to hear and feel…and experience such is a wonderful thing…warm wishes and brightest blessings~

Educating children always make for moving stories and photos. Great picture!

I have wondered about instruction of children…now I know! It looks as though children of various ages learn together?

Ah, Sukhmandir!! My sister from afar…thank you for sharing this photo! There is nothing more precious or sacred, I think, than teaching others, especially our children, in the ways of “becoming” — becoming the full, deep person we are all capable of being. (((( HUGS ))))

So beautiful and colorful! I love seeing hands-on learning!

Nancy gurmat and kirtan instruction in a camp setting is open to any one attending the camp regardless of age. Some camps specify certain ages, but siblings parents and other adults present are usually welcome to attend classes as well. It really depends on the size ( numbers of students and teachers) structure and organization. Same goes for weekend classes.

I like to do as much as possible sitting on the floor. Having pianos and drums like that would be great, and not just because they’re at kid level. It would be something to learn to use such a beautiful drum.

looks like they are pretty busy!

Susan,
In a camp settling like this one often every one teaches each other what ever they know or are learning. It’s a sharing experience.

he’ll grow up knowing every bit of his culture and traditions

happy WW!

I am with the first commenter, Stan. It is awesome to see kids in any kind of music program and away from the TV. It’s funny that what used to be the norm is now the exception…

Music is so important for all youngsters, I had fun with drums yesterday…. all that pent up energy after school was soon released by the ALL!!!

Love that all ages are together… Allows all to learn from each other. Another wonderful WW from you.

Nice capture. Music is love to all. Happy ww!

Love seeing children learning in such an active and constructive way.

What a great shot. I love how fascinated he looks during the lesson.

I loved the story about the fox, thanks for sharing it!

Interesting picture. My son takes traditional music class at school too and he loves it, but to make him sit and listen during the lesson is quite a challenge for his teacher, lol.

He’s so cute! It is great that families can participate in the classes together.

a wonderful photo that tell the story….
Happy WW

Wonderful! music and child’s play
Happy Wordless Wednesday!

I’ll bet that camp really makes Sikhism accessible for these kids, what a great way to learn about their religion.

Glad your granddaughter enjoyed the sunflower – what a great tribute .

Kulwant Kaur bhainji,
Without knowing your country or city, I suggest a good way to start is to ask granthi, gyani, ragi, or kirtani in your gurdwara or at smagams in your area to find out who knows raag and is willing to teach you.

i also go for gurmati classes i taught that guru gobid singh 1 week continusly keep on his music non-stop he sag shabad without eating or drinking water he keep it on his prayers to deviotanol to god so its intresting to learn music we wan a learn something in a camps we should consentrate on music also
thanks
